Commercial Description:
Aventinus, the Wheat Doppelbock of Bavaria, has always been known to be the most intense and complex wheat beer in the world. This was the case for the past sixty years, but not anymore...
Up until the 1940's, Aventinus was shipped all over Bavaria in containers lacking temperature control. Consequently, the precious drink partially froze during transportation. Unaware that the brew was concentrated by the separation of water from the liquid. People were baffled by this unique version of Aventinus. By chance, the first Aventinus Eisbock was created.
Well aware of this story, Hans Peter Drexler, brewmaster of the Schneider brewery, decided to recreate this classic "mistake" in a modern controlled facility. Thus, the Aventinus Eisbock is reborn sixty years later ... Prost!

Pours deep dark brown with a thin offwhite head. Aroma is malt with ripe plum and banana. Taste is malty with some clove and banana. Warms as i goes down with a bit above average carbonation, its is a bit tingly. Alcohol is apparent. Very good, not as good as the original, it lacks a bit of its balance and sweetness.

The bottle looks really good. Mine is numbered 2008/05789. Starts modest fruity and yeasty, a little bit too alcoholic I think. Interesting, but I exspected more.

2005 vintage bottle. Pours purple with dark browns and reds. Aroma is quite sweet, of ripe, juicy fruit, and sugar syrup. To be honest, this brew is dominated by sweetness, which is a turnoff to a hophead like me. It does, however, do a nice job “balancing” its purple jolly rancher sweetness with interesting fruity touches. This is an intense drink, and I suspect that further aging will not dull the flavor explosion it beholds.

Pours with not much head with a deep amber body. Nose is full of malt, alcohol, and root beer. Flavor is sweet and malty with raisin, clove, and yeast. Fine carbonation. A bit hot with alcohol. Smooth finish.

Dégusté dans un verre du mondial de la bières. De couleur brun caramel ambré avec un peu de carbonation avec une fine mousse. Bière d’apparence très lourde. Senteur fumé, malté, sucré, caramel,vanille, figue, pain d’epice et de banane, une bière évolutive et complexe au niveau olfactif. Au palais,cette bière est une explosion d’alcool elle est onctueusse, ronde ,huilleuse et sec vers la fin dû à la présence d’houblon réagissant vers la fin.Un goût de caramel,épices indiennes, poivres, houblon, vanille, lait de poule, confiture de rhubarbe et banane. Je pourrais continuer car le goût change au fur et à mesure. Une bière me procurant une plénitude.
